Application led May 11,1905. Serial No. 259.941.

T0 all when@ 1715 Nifty concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT LEE KILLINGS- WORTH, a citizen ot' the UnitedStates, residing at Bazette, in the county of Navarro and State ot'Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows; and Ido declare the following to be a t'ull, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

My invention is an improved plow especially adapted for use in plowingdown listed or bedded land to reduce the same to a level and alsoadapted for other purposes; and it consists in the construction,combination, and arrangement of devices hereinafter described andclaimed.

In the accompanying` drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation ot' a plowembodying my improvements; and Fig'. 2 is a horizontal sectional view ofthe same, taken on the plane indicated by the line a t ot' Fig. 1.

The beam 1 may be of the form here shown or of any othersuitable form.It is provided at its rear end with a downturned standard portion Q, tothe lower end ot' which are attached the lower ends of the handles 3,which are braced by means of the braces LI.

The standard 5, which carries a sweep or shovel of any suitable form, issecured to the beam 1 by means otl bolts 6 7, which admit ot' itsvertical adjustment and also enable it to be disposed either in avertical position or at any suitable angle. The said standard 5 is inadvance et' the standard portion 2 of the plow-stock.

In rear of the standard is a verticallydisposed knife-blade or cutter 8,which is provided with a vertical upwardly-extending' arm 9 at its frontend that is disposed in advance et' the standard portion 2 of the stockand is secured thereto by means of clamp-bars 10 11, respectively',secured to the standard 2 by bolts 12 13, the front end of theclamp-bars ll beingextended forwardly and pivotally connected to thelower portion of the standard 5 by a bolt 14. The clamp-bars serve tosecure the cutter or blade 8 at any desired vertical adjustment. It willbe understood that the said cutter or blade runs in rear ot' the sweepor shovel carried by the standard 5 and serves to steady the plow andprevent it from Inoving sidewise, while the sweep or shovel is used forbreaking' down the listed ridges or beds in the soil.

From the foregoing,- description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation ot' the inventionwill be readily understood without requiring a more extendedexplanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ot'construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any ot' the advantages of this invention.

Having' thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination with a plow-stock having a beam and a standardportion, a standard 5 secured to the beam, in advance ot' the standardportion, clamp-bars on the latter, one ot' said clamp-bars beingconnected to and serving' to brace the standard 5, and avertically-disposed knife or cutter blade having' an upwardly-extendingarm at its front end secured between said clamp-bars, substantially asdescribed.

2. .In combination with a plow-stock having,- a beam and a standardportion, a standard 5 secured to the beam, in advance ot' the standardportion, clamp-bars on the latter, one of said clamp-bars being`connected to and serving to brace the standard 5 and avertically-disposed knit'e or cutter blade having an upwardly-extendingarm at its front end secured between said clamjfi-bars, said standard 5and said cutter or knit'e blade being vertically adjustable.

In testimony whereotl I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing, witnesses.
